This is a blog page, and the url is:
I found this is very inflexible and actually its not possible to get theme to look as in demo.
I found one plugin with excellent manual linking.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-related-posts/
Also I changed part of single.php. Is there possibility to change single.php troughs child theme in order to stay compatible with further updates and how?
This part was changed:
<div>
<div>$relations = CustomRelatedPosts::get()->relations_to( get_the_ID() );</div>
<div>$args = array(</div>
<div> ‘post__in’ => array_keys($relations),</div>
<div> ‘posts_per_page’ => 6,</div>
<div> ‘tax_query’ => array(</div>
<div> array(</div>
<div> ‘taxonomy’ => ‘post_format’,</div>
<div> ‘field’ => ‘slug’,</div>
<div> ‘terms’ => array( ‘post-format-quote’, ‘post-format-link’ ),</div>
<div> ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN'</div>
<div> )</div>
<div> ),</div>
<div> ‘orderby’ => ‘rand'</div>
<div>);</div>
<div>$query = new WP_Query( $args );</div>
<div>/*if( $query->post_count < 1 ) :</div>
<div> $args = array(</div>
<div> ‘post__not_in’ => array( get_the_ID() ),</div>
<div> ‘posts_per_page’ => 6,</div>
<div> ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1,</div>
<div> ‘orderby’ => ‘rand'</div>
<div> );</div>
<div> $query = new WP_Query( $args );</div>
<div>endif;*/</div>
</div>
This plugin uses third party service. It’s not acceptable solution.
We need something simple, but it’s very important to keep theme look.
Is there are any way to keep look of the theme and to get simple functionality e.g.: two additional field on the “Edit blog post” page.
This will be the perfect improvement for this theme
